Peter Ingram, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, has been discussing the airline's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the 2023 Maui wildfires on tourism. In September 2023, Ingram stated that while demand from North America had fully recovered, the aftermath of the Maui wildfires had "crimp[ed] some of the visitation to the island of Maui" and that the airline was "not back to full strength" in that market. He noted that the airline's revised third-quarter revenue projections were "really driven by the unique situation in Maui," not a broader decline in demand. Ingram also discussed the airline's new cargo partnership with Amazon, describing it as "a really good opportunity for us going forward" that would provide "a new source of Revenue" and help diversify the business away from the passenger market's cyclical risks. Ingram has also addressed operational challenges and fleet modernization. In December 2023, he apologized for recent flight disruptions, attributing them to a "very challenging operation" where the airline "pushed a little bit too hard" to move guests, as well as a system failure from a third-party provider. He highlighted the upcoming introduction of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, with the first aircraft expected to enter passenger service in early 2024, and noted that the airline was "continuing to hire for anticipated growth" while partnering with Honolulu Community College to expand aviation mechanic training. Regarding the broader economic outlook, Ingram said in late 2023 that "the information we're looking at shows that demand is strong and remains strong," and he expressed confidence in the airline's trajectory.
